Title: Construct a model of a renewable energy system that powers a small device.
Course: Sustainability and Renewable Technologies (21053) > Section: Examining Renewable Energy

Construction should result in a PV, wind turbine, or hydro system that produces electricity.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What occurs when direct current is moved for long distances?
- What tools are needed to assemble the model safely?
- How can the engineering design process be applied to the development of turbine models?
- What troubleshooting steps might be taken if the load device does not work?
- What are the similarities and differences among a model PV, wind turbine system, and the full-scale systems?
- How do the system's parts interact to produce usable power?
- What are the factors that affect the amount of power produced by the model?
- How do the factors that affect the model's output effect a full-scale system?
